Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week

As I’ve explained before, I have Multiple Sclerosis. I’ve told my personal perspective, but I wanted to provide a few facts for you in case you’re further interested.

A New Me

I want to go full 1995 LL Cool J and tell you to not call this a comeback, but I think that’s exactly what it is. The last time I posted here was 2016. My son was 3, my marriage was 7, I was more or less a whole person. Now, in 2020, my son, whose very […]
